Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - U2

This one's a proper bargain-bin gem, resurrecting classic '80s fougères with a woody, fresh twist. It brings a clean, piney punch that's surprisingly versatile for its price point.

Our Verdict - Equipage Eau de Parfum

A truly classic, subtly sophisticated gentleman's scent that, despite some reformulations and occasional performance gripes, remains a benchmark of refined masculinity. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, but generally lauded as an old-school masterpiece - just don't expect it to smell like bubblegum.
